Objectifying women

[Edwardo Piet]

You are trying as hard as you can to phrase it without saying the word 'should', instead of being honest and admitting that what you really mean to say is 'you should do this'.

What I really mean?

You are not a mind reader. I mean what I say so either actually address what I post or don't reply to me. Claiming to know my mind is ridiculous.

Yes I'm trying hard to explain. Because, as you have so clearly demonstrated once again, it's very hard indeed to explain something to someone who claims to know what I'm thinking and what I "really mean".

You've backtracked yourself right into a corner trying to claim you aren't victim blaming to the point of engaging in outright denial.

Your claim that I am in denial and that you know what I "really mean" rather than actually addressing what I said is nothing but sheer arrogance and a means of side-stepping my actual points. As I said, I backtrack and repeat myself because it's so very hard to explain something to someone who doesn't actually address what I say. You are so emotionally charged that I can say anything right and you will just side-step by arrogantly claiming to know what I "really mean", well, charming.

All I hear is my great-grandfather's voice going, 'I'm not racist, but....'

Nothing but sheer emotion behind this. Address my actual points or I'm done here.

The only 'precaution' that actually decreases risk is educating people against victim blaming.

What nonsense. A person who lives on their own or doesn't live with rapists could reduce the risk of rape by never going out. That would be utterly ridiculous and I would never suggest such a thing (nor would I ever say that a rape victim should or shouldn't take a precaution, it's up to them, as I said repeatedly in my post you ignored the points of) - but that example alone shows what nonsense that statement is. And, do you claim that a group of friends walking together are just as likely to be raped as a single person?

This has been proven over and over. The statistics support this.

It has been proven over and over that all actions rape victims take have absolutely zero influence on the probability of their assault? Where?

Utter appeal to emotion. Whether the victim's actions have any influence over the probability of being raped or not and whether it's the victim's 'fault' are two completely different things, the former is a matter of fact and the latter is a matter of morals, values. To not understand the difference due to appeal to emotion and go around claiming to know what others are thinking is irrationally + arrogance.
